Jan Lewis-Eccleston

Welcome to my web site!

I have been making hand-built ceramic sculpture for many years, exploiting the unique qualities and clarity of texture of porcelain paper clay to create individual pieces, the inspiration for which comes from myths, literature, observed natural phenomena, and from the character of the clay itself (as well as from my sometimes strange imagination ...)

I hope you enjoy browsing my website and will visit me at the Longden Gallery or at one of the shows.
